[00:04.78]71. Brooke Shields: Speech at Michael Jackson's Memorial Service
[00:13.51]MJ's laugh was the sweetest and purest laugh of anyone's that I had ever known. 
[00:19.44]His sense of humor was delightful, 
[00:22.24]and he was very mischievous. 
[00:25.48]And I remember the night before Taylor's weeding 
[00:28.22]and he had called me prior and asked if I would join him. 
[00:32.62]He didn't want to be alone for all the festivities. 
[00:35.38]And it was the night before the big day. 
[00:37.86]Michael and I tried to sneak in to get the first peek of the dress. 
[00:41.98]We were giggling like crazy, 
[00:44.43]and we almost passed out in his hysterics when we realized that Elizabeth was actually asleep in the bed. 
[00:50.74]We thought she was in an entirely different room. 
[00:54.14]We had to laugh and sneak out. 
[00:57.60]And then, at the point of the wedding when there was the first dance, basically, 
[01:03.40]we had to joke that we were the mother and father of the bride. 
[01:06.66]Yes, it may have seemed very odd to be outside, but we made it fun and we made it real. 
[01:13.61]When he started wearing the glove, I was like, "what's up with the glove?". 
[01:18.20]I'm like. 
[01:19.39]"Look, If you are going to hold my hand, it better be the non-gloved one because sequins really hurt me." 
[01:26.87]He just shaked his head and he would just smile. 
[01:30.32]He loved to be teased. 
[01:32.53]Seeing him smile made you feel like everything was going to be all right. 
[01:37.81]To the outside world, Michael was a genius with unchallenged ability. 
[01:43.59]To the people who were lucky enough to know him personally, 
[01:46.63]he was caring and funny honest, pure; non jaded and he was a lover of life. 
[01:54.19]He cared so deeply for his family and his friends and his fans. 
[02:00.60]He was often referred to as the "King", 
[02:03.96]but Michael that I knew always reminded me more of the little prince. 
[02:10.22]Thinking of him now, I'd like to share a passage from the book: 
[02:14.53]what moves me so deeply about this sleeping prince is his loyalty to a flower, 
[02:20.18]The image of a rose shinning within him like the flame within a lamp, even when he is asleep. 
[02:26.84]And I realized that he was even more fragile than I had thought. 
[02:32.30]Lamps must be protecting. 
[02:33.75]A gust of wind can blow them out.
[02:37.00]Michael's sensitivity was even more extraordinary than his talent, 
[02:41.50]and his true truth resided in his heart. 
[02:45.15]As the little prince also said, 
[02:47.63]"Eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart; what's most important is invisible." 
[02:54.30]Michael saw everything with his heart. 
[02:58.65]To his family, his brothers and sisters, Katherine, Joe, and to his children, Prince, Paris, Blanket, my prayers are with you. 
[03:12.55]Michael's favorite song was not one of the countless masterpieces that he gave us. 
[03:17.87]But it was a song that Charlie Chaplin wrote for the movie Modern Time. 
[03:22.30]It's called Smile. 
[03:24.30]There is a line in the song that says: "smile, though your heart is aching." 
[03:29.32]Today, although our hearts are aching, 
[03:32.58]we need to look up where he is undoubtedly perched in a crescent moon, and we need to smile.
